These Wheels

What do you guys think of These in 18" for a 3rdgen?
I think they look tight. Did a IROC lowered almost all the way and purple with these rims on rimstop and it looks tight.

Yes. Unless I've been told wrong since 7th grade.

tight
1) (adj) A state of mind, feeling really good at the moment. Straight, legitimate, all-good.
2) (adj) Cool, dope, fresh.

Honestly... the wheels don't look that bad. Give it a try, or have someone on the Photoshop board do some hacking.

I think those wheels are terrible personally...go with billet wheels its a muscle car not an explorer, escalade, cadillac...etc. Find some good looking boyds or billet specialties and dont waste your time making your ride look "tight"...make it look MEAN

I don't even have a Camaro anymore. Just looking at some stuff for when I get one again. And by the way, Camaro's aren't musclecars, it's a pony car, decent performance decent power but sucked dry by EPA.

Whatever you say dude but since their creation camaros and trans ams have been called muscle cars and the mustangs were called the pony cars bc most of them were slow with 289s instead of 454s and 400 blocks like the real beasts had...but just because they were underpowered a bit in the 80s and early 90s doesnt mean they didnt have muscle car design and should lose that title

I dont care what everyone else thinks bc i know my 89 GTA is a muscle car
